Hold me! Baby Shower tonight

[nomad100]

I have to go to a baby shower tonight starting at 6:30. 30+ people are planning on attending. 

The usual baby shower in our family usually has about 15-18 people and lasts around 3 hours.  With 30+ people?  Who knows how long it will be. 

There had better be booze!

Baby shower on a Monday night? Oof. Take a flask, just in case.

Who has a baby shower on a Monday Night?? Good luck tonight

That is the weirdest timing ever. Is it at a hall? The only explanation I can think of is that they got it for like 10% of the normal price because what weirdo has a party on a Monday night.

The hell? Who has a baby shower on a Monday night?

You're feeling tired and need to leave by 8pm. ;-)

Nope, catered at my aunt's house.  Which is in no way big enough for all those people.  This has train wreck written all over it.

I have decided I am staying for 2 hours and then, I am out.

When you know ahead of time that shit is going to go on longer than the dawn of time, you don't show up. At least thats what I do! Disorganized showers are the worst! I would hand my gift off to someone I know who is going or give them the present later.

You are very patient and loving to stay 2 hours.

I'd drop the gift off, make the rounds, eat a cupcake and be out of there in 30 mins.

If my mother wasn't one of the hostesses, I would totally bail.  Believe me. 

But she would be upset if I didn't show. 

On the plus side, they have a normal name picked out for their little girl.  Madison.  No crazy spellings or unique pronunciation.

ohhh man

Well, here's hoping I have some fun stories for tomorrow's postings.

It would be sad if there wasn't a little bit of drama.
